Is there any way to accomblish that? I have a binary that runs setgid. It needs a different version of a library that usually resides in /usr/lib. And of course LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD do not work.
Here's the scenario: /usr/local/bin/foo need version 2.0 of library libbar. However, a lot of the other apps need libbar version 1.0 which is incompatible to 2.0. Now if foo wasn't setgid I would write a smallish shell wrapper to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD but that won't work. I think there should be a way for root to set up a wrapper for a case like this but frakly I don't know how.
